1. Anyone w meme-making/graphic skills & time for a "do a solid for democracy" should take the linked list in @marceelias's tweet below and make a meme that lists the process for each state's "notification" process on "rejected" ballots.

Or you could do just 1 for your state.
2. You could take this list, figure out how ballots get rejected and join a local org working to mitigate ballot rejection OR helping to inform voters they've been rejected.

This is a BIG problem for Ds & another reason I personally urge in-person voting as much as possible.
3. As you go through this list, you'll see the many error points that can cause rejection and data suggests that 1st time voters absentee/mail voters are MUCH more likely to have their votes disqualified. Between this, and Bill Barr's pre-announced strategy to try to prevent mail
4. ballots from being counted (which IS disgusting. The hard truth is it is forcing people w underlying health conditions or other vulnerabilities to endanger their lives so they can feel confident their votes are actually counted. But the data don't lie folks. The data says
5. Trump IS losing. Could it change? I mean, its not absolutely impossible. It's just not likely w/o a massive disruption that totally changes how Pure Indies feel about Trump AND depressed Dem coalition turnout (including left-leaning Indies). And Trump, the Trump campaign, the
6. RNC, that donor network, the congressional Rs- they know it. They think they have a chance bc like in 2016- Trump and his shitshow campaign doesn't actually run the campaign. The real "meat & potatoes" of the campaign is outsourced to the @GOPChairwoman ( a COVID survivor from
7. the WH COVID cluster, really Trump himself. This is SUPER IMP bc it means that like in 2016, the face of the campaign which is a hot mess, hides decent function and resources- bc the RNC's electioneering operation is always top notch. And @GOPChairwoman may be more shrewd
8. than Preibus was when it was his job to run the Trump campaign in 2016. Reince is no schoolmarm but @GOPChairwoman is immersed in a complex, multi-state criminal conspiracy w the Attorney General that she'll be forced to execute if, somehow, Trump comes out of election within
9. striking distance. if I was McDaniel, I would take advantage of my position in the RNC to focus on seat max for the party and go half-hearted, at best on Barr's demands bc so many people, including these swing state attorney generals know what they're doing. Its one thing to
10. to find oneself in a contested election count buy quite another to design a multi-state conspiracy w the Gen At. and the Prez to create one & I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the junior staffers involved in the scam are starting to think about their families and futures.
11. Indeed, its not clear that McDaniel herself would be willing to play violin on deck while the ship sinks. But I digress- we need people to use the info on this list to edu people on the need for volunteers in every state, esp the swings, to ensure that people who have their
ballots flagged for issues 1. get informed of that and 2. get the issue resolved. This is one of the most imp volunteer roles out there. PLEASE HELP!!!!

The only message that would work w Reps & right-leaning Indies to get them to vote against Trump are ones that appeal to their own self-interest. That's why the '16 ads failed.

You have to make Rs fear for themselves- NOT the greater good.
I know that's hard to hear, but that's the truth. Liberals always want to make ads that speak to themselves. If policy mattered to non-voters, they'd be voters. If Rs cared about others- they'd be liberals.
To be clear-Rs care about (known) or same- tribe others. Just not other, others.

1. Had a few of you ask me to respond to @Edsall's well-written & thought out column on less thought of aspects of the status of the election- here if you haven't read it. 1st- I want to remind you long-termers- for months, years, I've been talking about nytimes.com/2020/10/14/opi…
2. @parscale's strategy, his ONLY strategy since persuasion of Indies w Trump as your candidate is not an option, has been to hunt down, via social media, non-political white, working-class (men primarily) who share interests (hunting, Nascar, etc) w their voting WWC men but who
3. hadn't previously been voting- get them to register & then get them to turn out to vote. So this registration phenomenon in PA, WI, MI, etc, this is just that- coming to fruition. And if anything, these numbers are smaller than I feared they might reach though what makes them

Yeah! My "define originalism" suggestion got through!
Not hard at all @ChrisCoons that's exactly what Alabama, Mississippi, etc plan to do- pass state laws to challenge the right to privacy. Maybe not on contraceptives, but the doctrine of right to privacy
Correct @ChrisCoonsforDE - the right to privacy is what they want to come after bc it is what they mean when they talk about "judicial activism" or "legislating from the bench." So yes, post confirmation, on the future docket, the goal will be to organize, via ALEC, to start

1. Senate GOPers want you to believe that Dems don't support religious nominees and/or take issue w the fact they are people of faith. Virtually every Dem is religious, (& overwhelmingly, Christain, just like the Reps). In the case of A.C.B.- the concerns are how religion impacts
2. here decision-making. This has ALWAYS been a concern, and sadly, especially for Catholics. It was a BIG DEAL when Kennedy became the 1st non-WASP elected. But people were concerned he'sd be a tool of the pope! In the case of A.C.B., the concerns are her view on gay marriage &
3. abortion. THAT is what Ds are attacking, but it is a good talking point to frame it as an attack on her Christianity- a common tool in the GOP's messaging toolkit and one the media is ALWAYS willing to take the bite on. Today, in terms of American politics, religious tests &

1. All- over the past couple of years a few of you have mentioned creating a Patreon as a means of supporting my work. Up till now, my work has been supported via W-2 employment, but from here on out, I'd like to do it on my own. I hope to bring The Cycle to life as a political

1. I've noticed this too. And I have no doubt that A.C.B. both as a woman & devout Catholic felt pressured to have a large family. But I am grateful that she lived in an era where that obligation didn't deprive her "top of the class" brain the opp. to reach its full potential.
2. And I always wonder if women in her position ever stop to realize that "activist courts" that aren't "designed to right every wrong in our public life" are the KEY tool that allowed her to do it. That w/o the very type of jurisprudence she hates, she almost certainly couldn't
